Pacifica Del Mar

We originally were sat inside even though I requested a table outside in our reservation. I looked around outside and it was very busy but I could see one table available. I went to the hostess and asked politely to be moved outside and that we would happily wait if need be. They checked on a couple things and accommodated us right away. The atmosphere was much better outside. The view and weather were perfect, especially since we were postioned right behind some acrylic glass to block the wind. My partner and I shared the Hamachi crudo and crab cakes as appetizers and then the branzino and mashed potatoes as our entree. Our appetizers were better than the entree. Everything tasted good, however, it was all a little boring. I could be biased after working in fine dining for years, including fine dining seafood in Santa Monica. We ordered the bon bon, and the mocha semifredo for dessert. The semifredo was delicious and I understand why there's so many pictures and reviews about it. Fina

Absolutely wonderful restaurant in all areas: Staff, Service, and Cuisine. Bonus points for an exceptional ocean view. One of the managers Joe was specifically very helpful during our late lunch. We enjoyed so many menu items during our visit. Ambiance was relaxed but still upscale. Restaurant has easy access to a parking garage and is located on the main street through Del Mar so it’s easy to get to. Lovely place and we will definitely be back.
